But until he has Ivy's heart bleeding and tattered in his pocket and the lady at his mercy and begging for more, he will pursue her. Can he tame her? Perhaps. Could he ruin her? Most definitely. Should Ivy trust his offer of friendship? Absolutely not. A quest for revenge becomes a mutual obsession for them both. Who will be ruined first? Who will be tamed? ***TAMING IVY contains sexual situations described in detail between the main characters as well as instances of dubious consent, strong language, references to suicide, abduction, and mental illness. If this type of subject matter disturbs you as a reader, please understand it is an integral part of the storyline and the characters' development. There are sexual interactions that some may consider dubious consent in nature as the characters fight their feelings for each other. My characters are flawed. They do awful things, behave even worse, make mistakes, apologize, stumble yet again, and still redeem themselves for the sake of true love. I also took generous liberty with the idea of Ivy being left mainly to her own devices with a grieving, frustrated father who is absent much of the time. ***
